I am so happy that I don't need to find new class 66 bobbins. I bought a lot of 35 original metal bobbins on Ebay a few years ago. I have 4 machines that use this type of bobbin.

I have had more trouble from Class 15 bobbins than the 66s.

sew-classic has the class 15 bobbins as well -
I have had some of those class 15s from other places roll the case and all right out of the machine - they were out of round or something.

Hi, i just joined today after doing some research on some bobbins i came about at a thrift store. i'd never seen any like them and i have since realized they were original class 66 bobbins. i took a picture so everyone can see. If anyone wants them i am happy to list them on ebay for you.
The 4 on the top look to be the oldest so i would think those were the very original ones that came with the machine. But i'm no expert
Thanks, Alicia
